Vaginal electrode

Abstract

The invention provides a vaginal electrode. The vaginal electrode comprises an electrode body and a handle connected to the bottom of the electrode body, the surface of the electrode body is a smoothly cambered surface, a plurality of conductive electrodes are arranged on the surface of the electrode body, the conductive electrodes are electrically connected to a lead wire in the vaginal electrode, and the lead wire is collected in a handle; the outer diameter of the electrode body is in the trend of expanding and then contracting from top to bottom, and a hole side is arranged in the electrode body. During treatment, vaginal muscles contract due to electric stimulus, vaginal fold walls formed enter the hole side, pushing of the vaginal electrode is avoided, and the vaginal electrode can be effectively prevented from being pushed out of the vaginal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a vaginal electrode capable of collecting and transmitting electrophysiological signals. Background technique [0002] Women's pelvic floor tissue is of great significance to maintaining the normal physiological state and function of pelvic organs; pelvic floor tissue will be damaged due to factors such as pregnancy and childbirth, obesity, and long-term sexual life, resulting in vaginal relaxation and decreased vaginal contraction ability. , Urinary incontinence and many other pelvic floor tissue diseases and problems, which greatly affect the normal life of women. Therefore, once women have pelvic floor tissue diseases and problems, they need to be treated in time. At present, the most commonly used and effective methods for rehabilitation and treatment of female pelvic floor tissue diseases and problems are biofeedback and neuromuscular electrical stimulation therapy. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] During the treatment, the vaginal muscles contract due to electrical stimulation, and the formed vaginal folds will exert force on the vaginal electrodes, which can easily push the vaginal electrodes out of the vagina. During this process, some adverse consequences will occur:( 1) When the vaginal electrode is pushed out of the vagina, the contact area between the conductive electrode and the vaginal muscle will gradually decrease, resulting in excessive current per unit area of ​​the local vaginal muscle, causing burns on the surface of the vaginal muscle; (2) If the vaginal electrode If it slides out of the vagina, the vaginal muscles cannot be electrically stimulated, which will affect the rehabilitation process

Since the vaginal electrode may be used many times and the use environment is very humid, it is necessary for the vaginal electrode to be easy to clean and disinfect, and also to have a good waterproof function, which is not considered in the existing vaginal electrodes
